Synopsis

Quantitative MRI offers diagnostic insights into tissue and enables characterisation of diseases, while reducing variability between operators, sites and vendors. A stack-of-stars sequence using Quantitative Transient State Imaging (QTI) was optimised and implemented to map T1, T2 and Proton Density in human prostates. Resulting in vivo multi-parametric maps were of high quality, while validation in the NIST phantom show good agreement with T1 and T2 reference values.
